Figure 1
The probability of RAO with increasing DIT in the propensity score-matched subset is plotted for non-DHCA (left) in comparison with DHCA (right). There is an overall shift in the baseline probability of developing a RAO between the 2 groups (as reflected in the intercepts), whereas any added DIT does not change the difference in probability between the 2 groups. The circles at the bottom of the graphs represent the DIT of individual patients with no RAO, and the circles at the top represent the DIT of individual patients with RAO. RAO, reversible adverse outcome; DIT, distal ischemic time; DHCA, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
